CHICAGO, Ma, ~ tSpecidD.-The master builders

history OF Chicago On the blackboard at their head

"All members of the master masons now working
men requested to stop work Friday night, May
Is, and report to the Executive Committee.
"JosEPH DowNEY, President.
At the meeting of the Executive Committee yester-
day, committees were ap pointed to confer with the
material and learn how far the contractors could
rely their assistance iu a lite and death struggle
with the trade unions. An agreement in which the
signers pledged themselves not to sell materials OF
any kind to any engaged in the building business,
either directly indirectly quickly prepared and
carried by the committee to the different building
material supply firms The response received was FAR
encouraging than had been anticipated. The
brick manufacturers, Lockwood g. Kmbal, who
control the st. Louis pressed brick trade of tho city
the Anderson Pressed Brick Company who control
the Indiana pressed brick works, and all the common
brickmakers signed at once. The lime men were
Unanimous in saving that it was the right step. The
cement signed willingly. The Chicago Stone
Company which controls the entire stone business OF
the city, signed at once and all construction OF build
lngs is stopped until the embargo shall be- removed.
The mill men could not be handled as easily as the
other lines OF work. but with stOne brick and mortar
enoined, no work can be done. This refusal tv sell
embraces every man who builds houses for pay,
whether he is member OF tho Exchange or not.
There was entire unanmitg of opinion about the WIS.,
dom of the lockout among the builders present at the
Exchange to-day few of the master masons antici-
paed the order for tomorrow night and closed to-day
This was only done, however, IN cases where the
work had reached such stage CT completion that
stoppags would be convenient and safe to-day

At the headquarters Of the Carpenters and Brick

desperate move and the labor leaders predicted that
the association would 90 down under it. They claim
that the absence of the smaller material manufacturers
from the boycott will defeat its purpose
